No, this is not possible with the current nimldr. Some of the installation is only completed after the Robot starts in fact (merging of configuration files etc). Is there a specific reason you want to avoid starting after installation?

We are in the process of replacing older running servers with new hardware. As part of the replacement process, we often will bring the new server on-line under a different name to complete the setup. Once the switch is made, then we change the name and IP to replace the older server.

For example, if serverA is being replaced, we will create a new server ZserverA and prep the server for the replacement.

We want to install Nimsoft as part of the prep work, but don't want it to start and start running as ZserverA.
